Regular exercise can prevent chronic disease; improve mood and lower chances of injury or illness. Generations at Oakton wants to help seniors’ start a new exercise routine that is exciting as well as beneficial for their health.  At their upcoming Senior Resource Fair, there will be a special exercise demonstration that showcases various ways to keep moving!
